IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT BRVO BIOFUEL - PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING!
BRVO BioFuel is made from recycled vegetable oils and has similar properties to diesel fuel. We recycle and process raw waste vegetable oils into BRVO BioFuel, reducing the oils' higher viscosity and increasing its lower oxidative stability, and it can then substitute for 'normal' diesel fuel.
BRVO BioFuel is used in 'ordinary' diesel engines, mainly as engine fuel and home heating oil. The indirect injection design of the majority of diesel engines allows the relatively larger biofuel oil molecules more time to burn in the combustion chambers. If you are not sure about whether you can safely use a biofuel product - please ring us and ask... The usual exceptions are the most modern, expensive, high-tech direct injection engines, which the manufacturers (in 'alleged' collaboration with the petrochemical industry) have excluded from any biofuel or biodiesel use while under warranty!
BRVO BioFuel is much cleaner than petroleum diesel, it runs in unmodified diesel engines, but we strongly recommend that it be mixed with petroleum diesel in at least 1 part (gas station forecourt) petroleum diesel to 9 parts biofuel. Biofuel is an effective solvent and cleans carbon deposits and other residues deposited by petroleum diesel, so once you have had 1 or 2 tanks of BioFuel, your engine fuel filter NEEDS to be cleaned or replaced as it has dissolved the old deposits in the fuel tank and pipes, helping to improve and maintain efficiency. You can clean your filter by yourself quite easily, using some petrol and an old container.
Here on the Costa Almeria, we enjoy warm sub-tropical temperatures most of the year, cold snaps and frosts are rare. Because of this, we do not add anti-waxing agents to our BRVO BioFuel, thereby keeping costs down and keeping it as environmentally friendly as possible. If you live or plan to travel where the ambient temperature is lower, then you will need to increase the amount of petroleum diesel ratio to the bio-fuel, and/or add an anti-waxing agent to prevent the biofuel thickening in the pipes of your vehicle or machine. This problem with thickening would normally only start to occur within 7 degrees centigrade of freezing, and is therefore pretty uncommon. Please remember that BRVO BioFuel is fully mixable with any 'Gas station petroleum based diesel' - you do NOT have to drain or change your fuel tank.
Thank you for reading this - the rest is of interest, but not essential reading!
Biofuel is biodegradable, renewable, and less likely to explode and burn; the exhaust contains lower sulfur emissions; carbon monoxide and hydrocarbon emissions are cut by 20% to 60% and soot particulates are reduced by 40 to 60%. Biofuel is therefore more nearly carbon neutral and less likely to increase atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases. As we are also recycling waste product, this is a 'greener', more ecologically-friendly fuel solution.
We can run our diesel cars, tractors, generators, boats with BRVO BioFuel made from recycled cooking oil.
In the early 1900's, Rudolf Diesel, a French-German engineer, designed his patented Diesel engine to be run a variety of fuels - it was initially fueled by peanut oil - and said "the diesel engine can be fed with vegetable oils and will help considerably in the development of the agriculture of the countries which use it."
In 1913, Diesel boarded ship in Antwerp on his way to a meeting of the "Consolidated Diesel Manufacturing Ltd." in London. He retired to his cabin about 10 p.m., leaving word for him to be called the next morning at 6:15 a.m. but was never seen alive again; ten days later his body was found drifting in the English Channel! After having held secret talks with the British Navy about fitting diesel engines into their submarine fleet, Rudolf Diesel had been killed by the French to stop his diesel technology being fitted into submarines over the world! After his death the petroleum industry capitalised on the diesel engine by naming one of the by-products of petroleum distillation ‘diesel fuel’. That’s how dirty mineral-based petroleum 'diesel' fuel came to be the fuel for diesel engines!
There is a difference between biodiesel and BRVO BioFuel:in essence, biodiesel has much more chemicals in its composition. Biodiesel can be produced from chemicals and animal fats, vegetable oils, soy, rapeseed, jatropha, mahua, mustard, flax, sunflower, palm oil, hemp, field pennycress, or algae. The oils are mixed with sodium hydroxide and methanol and the chemical reaction (transesterification) produces biodiesel (FAME) and glycerol.
